There was an article the other day about the longshoreman strike,
that it was suspended until January.
Possibilities:
An actual agreement.

An actual agreement.
A "We're hurting the Democrats and we don't want to do that before the election." decision.
"Holy crap, me telling people 'I will ruin you!' really pissed them off, let's shut this down until things settle down."
Connection to the above: "Holy crap, people are so pissed they're telling the dock owners to start automating NOW, we need to calm this down!"
Which do you think?

"Censorship, it's what we need!"
He just doesn't want to call it that. Especially since he only wants it applied to one side. Guess which one.
"Why don't you trust the Professional Journalists?"
Because they're being taught to only give one side. And that's just the start.
I think we need a harm reduction philosophy of covering Trump and his party and the election. And these are some things to consider: One is to cut his or Vance’s mic when they start lying.
So not only is censorship the go-to remedy, but it's one-sided — openly one-sided.
And I know this is a hugely controversial idea, and it’s usually controversial because it will enable them to scream censorship, but there needs to be a philosophy of journalism that is oriented toward the public good.
That is, Gessen has thought through the censorship problem and determined that "harm reduction" or "the public good" supervenes the free flow of ideas to the people and allowing us to choose what we like. Gesson seems to object even to the speech that is objecting to the suppression of speech — to the "them" who "scream censorship."
When I talk to my students about it...Gessen teaches journalism at the City University of New York.

Oh, NOW we know where Mayor Pete is and what he's doing:
He's fucking people over.
NEW - Federal Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has shut down aid flights into Western North Carolina. A NOTAM has been issued by the FAA that won’t allow anyone not approved by the state to fly aid missions. They said they would give permission but they’re not being cooperative at all. At least six m pilots from Virginia are being prevented from getting their aid shipments into Asheville Regional Airport.
Compare to de Santis in Florida:
#BREAKING: DeSantis says Florida National Guard is being deployed to ports impacted by ongoing strike to maintain order and, if possible, resume operations "Florida is open - we want to use our resources to get this stuff to the market."
I wonder what the rules of engagement are if anybody tries to interfere?

It's hard to believe that all of this is simply because of incompetence and
"If I'm not in charge, you can't do it!". From a FL National Guardsman,
What got me fired up about this was yesterday, me and my team did the rescue of that 11-day-year-old baby and all these government officials and social media, they're showing that video, that pictures and video of that rescue and claiming that they have some government help with that. Even USA Today wrote an article about it saying it was a Florida National Guard that went and got it with a helicopter. No, it was me, my buddy Charlie, and a civilian named Zeb with his own personal helicopter out of Wilmington, North Carolina.
Without that civilian, that baby would be dead. And the old lady we went and rescued after that, she'd be dead too because she had one day left of oxygen. No one was going to go get them.
...
Nobody wants to coordinate with anybody. Everybody wants to pretend like they're being the hero while these people are literally f*cking dying in the mountains. And these people, I'm saying these people are limited medication.
They're running out of oxygen and there's no one going to get them. The most effective way I have found to go find these people is by getting in a helicopter and flying down the rivers and roads and looking for SOS messages or people waving us down. And then we dropped down and get them.
...
I think we did four refuelings yesterday and that was like just in half a day's work. We're in Asheville. And I saw two air force helicopter sixties and I knew there were PJs just looking at them.
And I went up to him like, Hey guys, like what are y'all doing? And like, this is what you need to be doing. This, this, this, this is how I'm finding people. And they're like, we can't go.
We're waiting on title 10 orders. And I'm like, what? They just, they can't get any afforded. There's military helicopters all over here sitting on the ground and they can't do nothing.
Even my JSOC boys in Fayetteville, they can't get orders to come out here. It is just the most disgusting thing. And they're killing these people.
And I don't know why they're doing it. I don't know what kind of conspiracy I've heard so many things, whatever you want to come up with, but they are literally allowing these people to f*cking die in the mountains right now because we can't get helicopters. They got money for everything else in the f*cking world right now.
I'm hoping that, by the time I write this, some of the bullshit has been straightened out, but I have doubts. Veep Harris, for instance, promised '$750 for those in need, if they apply for it.'
Fucking hell.
Apply HOW? No phones, no internet, often no food, water or medicine, so how the HELL are they going to apply?
What're you going to do, Harris, stop paying for more illegals to come in long enough to 'save' that much money, probably not giving a damn if these people live long enough to apply?
I have no words for how pissed I am right now.

There are a bunch of people who need to be dangling by the short & curlies
Guy takes his chopper and starts running rescue. Asshole official becomes involved.
“I told him my background experience, law enforcement, firefighting, and pilot and he immediately started helping with coordination. He gave me radio frequencies to coordinate with them on, set up a landing area for me to come back with the other victim, and just basically started the rescue efforts; the policies and procedures that you would take coordinating with someone from an outside source or outside agency. And in the middle of the whole conversation and them blocking the road off, I was greeted by the – at that time I didn’t know – but the Lake Lure fire chief, or assistant chief, maybe. And he shut down the whole operation.”
...
“If that’s what you want us to do, we’ll leave no issue. And I explained to him that I left my son on the side of the mountain, and I left another victim. I was going to go back and bring them, it was already set up for the landing spot and then I would get out of his area. He told me I wasn’t going to go back up the mountain to get them, I was going to leave them there.”
...
Seidhom said he asked the official for a specific reason he was ordering him to stop his rescue efforts. “You’re interfering with my operation,” is the reason Seidhom said the fire official gave.
Yes, the asshole has been identified.
This is ONE of the incidents involving officials telling volunteers to go away, or to do nothing 'until we approve it', and so on.
Now add in this:
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday that "FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.” One reason for that is that under Biden-Harris, FEMA spent $650 million this fiscal year providing services and housing to illegal aliens. And $364 million the year before that.
There's a lot more in that post about just how effing disgusting the FEMA response has been in the past as well.
Now throw in this:

Well, either that or the Almighty is telling you
to stop effing with his people.
Karami, however, sees it as a possibility. He states, “Considering the Zionists’ history of subjugating genies, they carry out many of their missions through this means, and demons are their secret army.” Hassan Nasrallah is by no means the first victim of these Zionist jinn: “They [the Jews] have had access to genies and cosmic science since the time of David and Solomon. Historically, they have always used genies, their documents and traditions proved that. They have used genies and demons for warfare and intelligence operations throughout history.”
Note: I don't think this is the genie he's speaking of

That Walz fellow does seem to be a bit of a dick
At a 2014 congressional hearing held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Tim Walz, then a congressman representing Minnesota’s first district, recalled being in Hong Kong when the Chinese Communist Party crushed the student protests that had roiled the country since mid-April of 1989. The unforgettable crackdown came on June 4 of that year.
...
That anecdote has since been repeated, without scrutiny, by the New York Times, CBS News, and National Public Radio, among others. In reality, local news reports show that Walz was at home in Nebraska in May and June of 1989, as protests convulsed China and the government’s response turned the world’s attention to its gross human rights violations. He wouldn’t depart for China until August.
He lies an awful lot, doesn't he?
And now,
“The Committee has recently received whistleblower disclosures informing the Committee of serious concern among Department of Homeland personnel regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Timothy James Walz,” wrote Chairman James Comer. “Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, the Committee has learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees—titled ‘NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync’—that contains information about Governor Walz that is relevant to the Committee’s investigation. The Committee has also learned that further relevant information regarding Governor Walz has been memorialized in both classified and unclassified documents in the control of DHS.”

First question: Has anybody seen or heard from Mayor Pete, (updated)
our Transportation Secretary? Update:
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, despite being the senior infrastructure guy in the Cabinet, is once more nowhere to be found. His public schedule has not been updated since mid-August. Instead of focusing on assisting Helene victims, he is reportedly helping Tim Walz with debate prep for the upcoming vice presidential debate on Tuesday evening. Instead of assisting with disaster relief, “Mayor Pete” is in Minnesota with Tim Walz.
The rest of the cabinet has been MIA; now that there's serious noise about it, they're probably scrambling to try and look like they're worth a crap and doing something.
Second: You actually think he's running the .gov?
REPORTER: "Any comment on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President!?" BIDEN (or whatever's left of him): "I've spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I'm supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they'll settle the strike."
Also from the Compassionate and Caring Dear Leader:
And last: have the leftists started crowing "Oh, now that there's a problem you want the Feds to save you?" yet?

Also from the Compassionate and Caring Dear Leader:
REPORTER: Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?
BIDEN: No. We pre planned a significant amount of it, even though they didn’t ask for it yet. Hadn’t asked for yet.
"Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?"
BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have."
"Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?"
BIDEN: "No."
As someone said, give it a few days and Biden and Harris will probably both be there to make sure there are pictures of them Caring, purely because they can't be seen as Not Caring Enough. And they'll probably get hugely in the way in the process(no, I'm not feeling generous toward them).
And last: have the leftists started crowing "Oh, now that there's a problem you want the Feds to save you?" yet?
Who at the NYeffingTimes writes this crap?
They keep saying '- you don't hate the media enough', and they're right.

Y'know, it seems like someone could've ordered this before,
say when the Houti were shooting missiles and our and other people's ships.
Of course, that would've required some balls, integrity, and not worrying about upsetting the terrorist vote in a couple of states.

That 'anonymous' has struck again,
which makes me think it's the one complaining about the content.
Such a wonderful sort.
Such a wonderful sort.
Apparently someone bitched about the Saturday night 'experiment' post
so it's behind a warning. Isn't this crap wonderful?
